“A unique and eccentric talent…”

— Mark Del - NUSIC New Music Podcast

Bio

Matt Blick is singer/songwriter & musical educator from Nottingham, UK. 

In 2013 he released Let’s Build An Airport and followed it up with Everything In The World Is Fighting Everything In The Sky in 2016 and Fifty Five Stories Down in 2019.

He was named on of the top 10 songwriting resources to follow on Twitter by CD Baby and he’s been blogging his way through the entire Beatles back catalogue since 2009 at Beatles Songwriting Academy.

Now

I'm building new website for mattblick.com and Beatles Songwriting Academy.

I’m training for a couple of ultra marathons. 

I’m using the ‘Kon Mari’ method to streamline my collection of sheet music..   

I’m teaching guitar, rock band and mentoring singer/songwriters in the Nottinghamshire area.   

I’m excited about the new album from Liz Frencham which features a song we wrote together.   

And some things I’m not doing.   

I’m on a break from writing and recording new music, recharging my batteries by learning any covers that take my fancy.   

I’m also currently taking a break from blogging my way through the entire Beatles catalogue at Beatles Songwriting Academy.   

I’ve handed over leadership of  the monthly ‘bring and share’ First Tuesday Songwriters Group to Daudi Matsiko.   

In 2019 I quit Facebook and did a year long ‘fast’ from new media (books, films, TV shows, albums and podcasts) to focus on all the cool stuff I already had. It was fun!

Currently enjoying

Liverpool Football Club's totally unprecedented dominance of the Barclay's Premier League.

and

Books –  Lincoln In The Bardo
Music – On The Scrounge Again (White Privilege)
Film – Parasite

Who Am I Really?

Matt Blick is a soup farmer, renegade mathematician, rickshaw driver, submariner, performance dentist, seal trainer, kosher hairdresser and northern ninja.

He has previously worked as a crash test dummy, stunt double on Finding Nemo, choreographer for Ladyboys Of Bangkok On Ice, script editor for WWE Friday Night Smackdown and PA to Bono’s personal chef’s tour bus driver’s flat mate’s ex-girlfriend.

He is a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, the 5th Wiggle and Britain’s third largest importer of bananas. He is the first person to have read the entire internet and the second person to impale Lee Marvin with a pitchfork.

He invented pepperoni and teflon and is responsible for supplying over half of the UK’s gravity. He is the owner of George Washington’s false teeth and plays Ed Sheeran in the New Line Cinema biopic “Wings Of Glory”.

He is his own worst enemy, a law unto himself, the king of pop, a bridge too far, Carphone Warehouse’s secret weapon and Clint Eastwood’s biggest regret.

His one remaining ambition is to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
